Coronavirus (COVID-19) Testing

Order Your 4 Free At-⁠Home COVID-⁠19 Tests 

Every U.S. household is eligible to order 4 free at-⁠home tests.

COVID-19 testing can help you know if you have COVID-19 so you can decide what to do next, like getting treatment to reduce your risk of severe illness and taking steps to lower your chances of spreading the virus to others.

Your order of COVID tests is completely free – you won’t even pay for shipping.

Visit COVIDTests.gov

Testing helps prevent and contain the spread of COVID-19. If you have symptoms or were exposed to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, you should be tested, regardless of your vaccination status.
